SPECTORS SET TO BRING ON THE HORROR FROM KRAKEN CREATORS SHANNON ERIC DENTON AND DAVID HARTMAN!: "Writer & Monster Forge founder Shannon Eric Denton (Avengers, Justice League) and artist David Hartman (Phantasm: Ravager, Transformers Prime) brings Spectors – an exhilarating adventure complete with terrifying monsters, sinister cults, and a team of oddballs out to save the world, set to be released in May 2026 by Titan Comics.
In this brand-new original graphic novel, Spectors, armed with a mystical knife and a prosthetic multi-tool-gatling-gun, Reginald and Debby are the only people stopping evil cults from breaking the barrier between realities. It’s only when they uncover a hidden lab filled with human test subjects that the horrifying truth hits them, the cult’s twisted experiments have been running since the 1930s, and their latest victim may become Reginald and Debby’s greatest ally!
Shannon Eric Denton and David Hartman are the brains behind various titles in film, television, and comics. Denton is an award-winning director and writer, with credits spanning Disney, Sony, and Warner Brothers. Hartman, a Spectrum Award-winning artist, has featured his work across comics and games, notably credited on Transformers Prime and Phantasm: Ravager.
High-profile talents have praised Spectors. These include author Jeff Mariotte (Desperadoes, Garrison), who said readers of Spectors will “laugh, cry, and scream in terror (and joy),” and horror filmmaking legends Rebekah and David McKendry (Barstow, Glorious), who called it a “must for horror fans of all types”.
“What started as a prompt to David to design some monster hunters led to one of the most epic worldbuilding adventures of my career,” said writer Shannon Eric Denton. “Spectors has become the lynchpin of the Monster Forge universe with Kraken and everything else tied to it, while at the same time being its own unique solo story.”
"Spectors has been an absolute blast to work on. It started with a simple question: What characters would you draw if you could design your own team of monster hunters?” said artist David Hartman. “Shannon brought them to life — giving them personalities, backstories, and futures — all while they unravel a mystery tied to a world-dominating secret society.”
SPECTORS is on sale May 12, 2026! Pre-order it now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, and Forbidden Planet (UK).
